What are your favorite CC-licensed Books?
Would be fun to have a good list of Creative Commons licensed ebooks, but beyond Doctorow and Lessig my list is pretty thin. Any suggestions?

No suggestions really, but this list might be of use...

Blindsight by him (found on the same site) is also very good.

Ventus by Karl Schroeder was a book I liked as well.

I just finished Ventus. I dropped Schroeder a line and told him I liked it, even if it did have a few editing problems.

I could mention another one, but that would be unseemly.-) Don't accidentally roll over my sig on your way out.

Yes, but it didn't really grab me like Accelerando did. I'll be re-reading Accelerando, and Peter Watts' Blindsight too, but Scratch Monkey probably not.
